52 page PDF -- don't click if you're on dial-up! Page 33 provides lighting requirements.

Here's the page with a bunch of other coast guard documents:

USCG CG-5421 Web Site - Commandant Instructions

Most of them very dry and picture-less. There is a copy of the Navigation Rules -- 200+ pages and not a single picture. Might be fun to send to someone else's printer at work.

Don't know if anyone has previously posted these, but I stumbled onto them and thought others might find them useful. Or at least bookmark it and come back on a rainy day.

Very useful for those who want to do a pre-check of their vessel before the USCG comes aboard.
